New and Important Opinions of PuImO-
nary Experts-Can the Universal Con-
sumption He Successfully Treateds
DR.. Borgeon, q leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption
He gives an enema Of carbolic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part OF
the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at effects
tho cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause Is has been stated by per-
haps the highest pulmonary authority in
Consumptives, in London, Eng:
This malady every year carries on from
one-seventh to one-ffth Of the entire popu-
lation Of England
DR.. Payne, NJ D., NJ. X. c. p, London, Is
authority for this statement.
The same or q greater proportion OF
deaths obtains in America.
DIR. Payne also says that one-half the
total number of deaths from all other causes
have seeds of this disease in the system
which only require some irritant to Develop
DIR. Hermann Brehmer. an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption il
caused by deficient nutrition OF the lungs
These authorities can not be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid il the irritant in the blood that
causes the development Of the seeds which
DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle Of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart. also goes
through the kidneys, and II they are IN the
least deranged they can not rid the blood
of its killing poison The thousand little
hair-lilke sewer tubes Of the kidneys very
easily get blocked up and diseased; and
when they do, they corrupt instead 81 pu-
